DON'T COME HOME DRINKIN'
1966年此曲一出, 即成 Loretta Lynn 首當的鄉謠榜第一位歌曲, 内容全都是她的真實寫照。時年十六歲, 嫁得一位酗酒的丈夫, 每晚帶醉回家, 除却强苛性事之外, 從没有做過丈夫與父親的責任, 唯有以此曲作咆哮和控訴...
DON'T COME HOME A-DRINKIN' - Loretta Lynn
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up
When you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight
But liquor and love
They just don't mix
Leave the bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well ya don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
And many a night I've laid awake
And cried here all alone
Then you come in, a kissin' on me
It happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind

一年後, Lynn 的弟弟亦以風趣, 揶揄時弊方式作了一首 "Answer Song 回應歌曲" 來還以大男人一些公道, 並將當時或今天的社會現像表露無遺, 此曲更登上當年的鄉謡歌曲榜。
I knew that you'd be sleepin' when I got home last nigh
All you ever want to do is eat and sleep and fight
You say you're always all worn out from the work you have to do
So I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
Yes I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
Seems like you'll never want to do the things I like to do
Each time I try to hold you you're asleep before I do
So I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like yoU
I never take you anywhere cause you're too tired to go
You say it's all that you can do to wash and cook and sow
When you're too loathed to kiss me well the bottle will have to do
Then I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
Yes I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like you...
So I come home a drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
